That’s pretty depressing to thing that I will lose out on having physical children.

Now onto Adam and Eve procreating in the terrestrial state. They and the Earth were created before the fall. Brigham Young taught and Gramps has commented on this very subject ,have said No physical being has ever come into this world but having a literal Mother and Father. So both Adam and Eve were born to a physical Mother and Father not Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother who procreate spirit bodies, a whole different perfect spiritual matter that I believe can only be created by God and Goddesses. So if Adam and Eve had parents who were they? Brigham Young also taught the Adam and Eve were placed here on Earth and so where the animals. The chicken came before the egg!! So Adam and Eve’s parents where of a Terrestrial State similar to what Adam and Eve where when they were placed hear on Earth. Thus being in a terrestrial state they could of procreated. because their physical parents did. Where they taught how? One can only guess No they were naive as little children and once Eve was beguiled it changed her glory which gave her eyes the ability to see the good from the bad (an important part in being a God BTW) But they, Adam and Eve where physically different now and this is why Eve said we cannot fulfill Gods plan because they where separated. Adam realized this and was commanded to multiply and replenish the Earth. I believe this commandment is if full force today on terrestrial planets as well. However, we don’t know to what extent or purpose a terrestrial being is used for other than to populate other worlds like Adam and Eve. There are a lot of stars and planets out there in our solar system. Anyway food for thought and remember they are only my opinions. Thanks for the great comments on this site always fun to come in here and read different opinions.

Latter-day Saints are not Biblical literalists; we are not Young Earth Creationists.

We teach that Adam and Eve’s fall was in fact very literal. Recent General Conference talks address this.

“We have been assured that if we will be patient in our afflictions, our
righteous longings will be eased and we shall have all the blessings of
which we are worthy” I take that to mean that every needful thing, everything that we desire that we need, will be fulfilled. I do not take that as all my desires will come to me, but that all my needs will be fulfilled. I have always believed that meant that righteous individuals would have the chance to form a family.

When satan is cursed for giving the fruit, he is incensed for being punished for doing what he says is done in other worlds. If it was always done by a fallen angel in other worlds and they are always cursed simliarly then why would he be incensed or act as if he was being tated unfairly? However if adam and eve always possessed the ability to procreate but simply had not yet done so, is it impossible to imagine that Father would have provided an opportunity to obey both commandments at a later time?

Perhaps other laws are given that children perhaps can break that can also provide the neccessary fall where adam and eve transgress to remain with and raise their fallen child outside the garden. We really dont know. But i just do not think that father would give adam or eve two commandments that required them to break one because that is conflicting with nephis promise. Perhaps eves deception was in thinkiing that there was no other way to fall than to do that one thing at that one time, according to her fallen brother.

After all we do know he was a liar from the beginning. If the Lord promises that he gives no promises that he does not prepare a way for us to obey, then the commands he gave adam and eve to procreate and to avoid the fruit must have had a way prepared as well. But they were decieved and took a shortcut forcing adam to transgress. Well thats another possibility anyway.
